Story summary

At a recent Global Business Forum in Banff, Alberta, Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy stated it would be shocking to see the United States invade Canada during an onstage discussion. This came days after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney mentioned his government had analyzed the extremely unlikely risk of U.S.-led military action against Canada. The comments reflect ongoing diplomatic relations and mutual trust between the two countries despite political tensions elsewhere, emphasizing that such an invasion is almost impossible to contemplate for both nations' publics.
